Forgot Ferengi.

And they have big heads (and ears).

Really? They were adding Ferengi?

No idea, just trying to fit with the star trek crowd. Voyager is still my all time fav.

Most banworthy thing Troy has ever said.

Oh come on now! Who needs cool catch phrases and hot Alien babes, all you need is the screen version of your Mother lost in a distant galaxy.

Right? Guys?

Been playing frequently, trying to get to Lt Cmdr rank so I can get a bigger boat.

The missions... actually have the feel of an old fashioned trek episode. It is enjoyable for that aspect.

For now.

After the Klingons and Romulans and all that original series stuff, starting into Lt. Cmdr it's Romulans and feels a little more like Next Gen. Still fun, but somehow different, too.

If the trend continues, I expect to be at Deep Space 9 as Captain, and then Voyager stuff as Admiral. Which if true implies you should enjoy it while it lasts, it's all downhill from here.

Patching system sucks. Been on and off 3 or 4 times today, and each time it made me DL the same 16mb patch.

Posted: **Thu Mar 18, 2010 10:49 pm**

I just got blueballed. Played LONG after I was tired to hit the next rank, figuring it was after Lt 9. Nope. LT 10 is next... don't know why I thought Lt Cmdr was next.

Oh, yeah, it's 1-10 and then you get the next rank.

I keep forgetting that, too.

Same 16mb patch is dl'ing. What the hell.

Okay, this game just became suddenly the most awesome thing ever. That was brilliant. I won't be specific because I don't want to ruin anything, but once you become Captain there's a quest that is just ... great.

By the way, it does indeed progress through the series. I'm definitely playing a DS9 game now. Remember Section 31, and all the political intrigue?

I'm hoping the Enterprise-E makes an appearance in a mission with Data in command.

When you are with an allied ship, can you set yourself to auto-follow it?

Posted: **Sat Mar 20, 2010 3:56 pm**

And where did you get all of your money? I only make a couple thousand selling a full load of stuff from a string of missions. You've given me 300k so far, and spent a mill on a new ship the other night.

So where is the money tree?

Posted: **Sat Mar 20, 2010 4:31 pm**

So...should I own this yet?

As a MMOG I haven't seen much to recommend it, but as a Star Trek game, I like it. The fact weird things get said in chat and TPR is around now and then to get me through tough missions (and give me money) is a plus.

And here's the new boat I got last night. It is a Constitution Class, like the original Enterprise. Unless I am mistaken.

Posted: **Sat Mar 20, 2010 9:44 pm**

You are correct. It is a Constitution class starship. So do you have an Orion slave girl named Lilu?
